'Versions of Hell': Squid Game and S Korea's historical homeless centres

South Korea's wildly popular Netflix show has brought renewed focus on a history of brutality towards the homeless.

'Versions of Hell': Squid Game and S Korea's historical homeless centres

South Korea's wildly popular Netflix show has brought renewed focus on a history of brutality towards the homeless.
The article discusses the historical context of South Korea's "homeless centers," known as "kkobangtcha," which were established during the Japanese colonial period and continued into the 1960s and 1970s. These centers were essentially workhouses where the homeless, vagrants, and sometimes even political dissidents were detained and forced to work under harsh conditions. The piece draws parallels between these historical centers and the fictional setting of the Netflix series "Squid Game," where participants are subjected to extreme conditions for survival. It highlights how these centers were part of a broader societal and governmental effort to manage poverty and homelessness by segregating and exploiting the destitute. The article also touches on the cultural memory of these centers, noting how they reflect a dark aspect of South Korea's past, where the vulnerable were often treated with cruelty under the guise of rehabilitation or punishment.
